Since we’re down 52% less paycheque these days, SharkBoy and I have been staying in, mostly watching unopened videos from purchases past or pay-TV channel gems before Rogers shuts them off for late payments (just kidding… for now…). Here is a list with a one sentence review of the last few movies we’ve watched:

The Black Hole: Ernest Borgnine dies as the story bleeds logic while the set design steals the show.

Norma Rae: Plucky actress Sally Fields broke an extra’s rib in one scene.

Push: William Gibson could have wrote this twisty story, but it was terribly shot.

Paul Blart – Mall Cop: Avoid.

Eyes Wide Shut: Guiltily turned it off 45 minutes into it.

Carousel: Wide wide screen reveals extras standing around doing nothing in this overlooked classic.

Stingray (Episodes 1-5): Marina kills me laughing as I’m constantly reminded of Team America.

Blindness: Not enough disaster porn, but it’s a nice deconstruction story of morality and civility.

Mutual Of Omaha Animal Kingdom (Episodes 1 and 2): This show would not survive 10 minutes if shown today due to all the staged animal cruelty.

Zack and Miri Make a Porno: Why did I wait so long to see this pure Kevin Smith film?
